It's freezing out and it's Super Bowl Sunday, but we turned out to yell at ICE.
A cold, sunny day in Pittsburgh on the South Side. A crowd is marching from the ICE building back to the Hot Iron Bridge. It's a long line of people turning a corner. We're chanting NO ICE, NO KKK, NO FASCIST USA.

Confirmed, the "Gaza peace deal" was the same deal offered to Netanyahu and the US repeatdly, but it was turned down by Israel because they wanted to gift Trump (Israeli asset) a perceived victory at the expense of the Israeli hostages and Gaza population.
